    Curb Angle

    This document discusses ambient temperature storage tank design and the requirements for curb angles at the top of tanks. It provides figures showing minimum required curb angle sizes according to the BS and API codes. The effects of internal pressure and tank diameter on the required compression area are also examined, showing that requirements increase dramatically with larger diameters and higher pressures. Exceptions to the minimum curb angle requirements are described for open top tanks, self-supporting roofs, and small diameter tanks per the API code.

    From a practical point of view, both the BS and API Codes take 3.7.9 3 Effect of internal pressure and tank diameter on re'
    the view that for construction purposes, (unless there are spe- quired compression area
    cial circumstances which are given in Section 3 7 9 2), then Forthe BS Code, the effect ofthe varying internal design pres-
    tanks must be provided with a top curb angle of a certain mini sure for a ranqe of iank diameters is demonstrated in Figure
    mum srze. 3.61, for the following tank design parameters.
    The reason for this is to:
    a) l\.4aintain shell circularity during construction
    b) Give a landing for the roof plating
    c) Give a landing for the roof handrail stanchions (where Jit-

    In the BS Code, the minimum size of curb angle which shall be 9i1s!l ll:!l 0 rs6l
    fltted to the tank shall be that derived from equation 3 68 or as 12A 124 120
